I really don’t understand… They went behind all members backs for a year working a deal with USAC to organize a .25 division then decided to tell members around the September 2008 time frame. They did succeed in organizing a division within USAC but didn’t‘t succeed in convincing everyone that this was the best choice. Mr. Rankin and certain other individuals choose to go the USAC route so why are they upset they can’t run QMA? Personally, after all the conniving actions they have done I really don’t see why they or anyone else would want them in their organization. They only person these certain individuals have hurt are the kid.

Why do they want back in?

Because if your kid really likes to race wouldn't you want to run all the races you possibly could? The idea was NOT to put QMA out of business, but to have more options! Personally, all the conniving I've seen is on the other end!!!!

I don’t believe they ever said they wanted out of QMA, they like many of us only wanted more options for racing.

As a 4 year member, I am glad the letter was shared, it shows how the organization you belong to behaves and treats its members and what could potentially happen to any of us should you step on the wrong toes. There are many other QMA letters out their especially from board members in Region 4 that would make you want to puke and its clear that it didn’t take much Wisdom to write them.

I understand that we are a reflection of QMA and I understand being detrimental to QMA, but anyone on the board at a club, regional or national level could also be detrimental to QMA by not being fair, having personal agendas, grudges or the way they address and handle issues etc.

Before revoking a membership, I feel that like being a manager, if someone is doing something against company policy or not meeting standards, you meet with them to let them know. Then if it continues you write them up and ultimately terminate them.

What bothers me is that a membership can be revoked without any previous written warning or COC. To my knowledge, he has never had a COC or Tech DQ with QMA and has always been a member in good standing.

This defensive stance and unwillingness to work with another organization is not helping anyone. Like every other business or organization, there will be choices and competition.

More races, More publicity, More marketing only means the sport of Quarter Midget Racing will grow that much faster and that equals Happy Kids with ALOT of Racing opportunities!

well said goffin20, thats why i said under the usac positive its time to talk about usac positives and let qma take care of themselves, because unless there is change in qma i see a bad future racing there.
